Thai Sweet & Sour Pork over Basmati

Why I Love This Recipe

Just a wonderful tasting pork dish. You can substitute the Basmati rice for any rice or even serve the pork by itself with other sides that you like. Also works well with chicken if you are not a pork lover.

Directions

1. About 30 minutes before you want to prepare the pork, wash 1 cup of basmati rice well, and drain.

2. In a rice cooker, add 1 1/2 cup water, 1 tsp vegetable oil, 1/4 tsp salt, add the washed basmati, cover, and set to normal cycle. Rice will take 15 minutes. Once rice has completed, start cooking the pork, as the pork is best served immediately.

5. In another small bowl, mix the tapioca starch and 2 1/2 tbsp of water, and reserve

6. Heat a wok or large skillet on high heat for 30 seconds then add peanut oil. once oil just starts to smoke, add garlic. When garlic is light brown, add the pork, spread out, and let cook for 2 minutes. turn over, and cook until pink color disappears, about 1 to 2 minutes.
